The Jozani Forest is located in the
central east region of Zanzibar Island is the home of
rare Red Colobus Monkey, which is only endemic to
Zanzibar. A red colobus monkey, unlike their more
widespread and adapted cousins, the Black and White
Colobus, are a rain forest species which are now
confined to very small areas of equatorial forest in
tropical Africa. It is therefore a rare treat to be able
to see them here in Zanzibar. The reserve also
accommodate a large mangrove swamp and a tract of
natural forest that is home to a few unique species
including the Sykes monkey, bush babies, duikers,
hyraxes, over 50 species of butterfly and 40 species of
birds.
